Jon Seda teases 'Treme' role

Jon Seda has dropped hints about his role in the upcoming second season of Treme.

The actor will join the HBO drama as Nelson Hidalgo, a venture capitalist who arrives in New Orleans looking to help rebuild the city a year after Hurricane Katrina.

"This character is just the beauty of [creator] David Simon," Seda told Fancast. "[Simon] digs deep and tells the truth [including] the good, the bad and the ugly."

He added that the second season of Treme will explore issues related to the financial aid that was sent to New Orleans.

"You know, a lot of money came through here after the hurricane and there are a lot of questions left about where that money is now," he explained. "Those are the types of stories that should be told and that Simon tells so well."

Seda also revealed that he did not watch the show's first ten episodes prior to the start of filming.

"I didn't want to get too involved, and with this role, I didn't have to know everything because he's coming into it new," he suggested. "I wanted [my character] to evolve organically."
